Ex-student. High school to avoid, at least with regard to the BTS SIO (dev).

High school renovated certainly, but always with equipment as outdated (if existing), even if the problem of this training reigns especially in computer science education.

At the level of TP "autonomy", prepare to spend most of the time on OpenClassrooms or developpez.com, since what good to create TP yourself according to the students if we are already ready. The technos really required in the world of work are at best overflown (Angular, Prestashop, JS, Docker, etc ...). It is suitable for beginners, of course, and it's good ... Until the second year when your rise in skills will be extremely minimal, since you will learn almost nothing new, and especially nothing consistent compared the skills demanded in a company which will be of a much higher level.

If you want to have a good grade on your exam, you will have to deepen - not just a minimum - the basic knowledge seen in class and learn the really useful technos for yourself at home. And do not count on the free time that you will have in class after finishing your TP, since you will be sent for a walk by saying that you do not do what you are asked.

And speaking of computer science teachers, you will be noted in the head or mood. Better to be discreet or you will never leave the colimator, at the risk of being humiliated in front of the class. Do not count on them to help you beyond a certain level either: If you are really lost, they will surely be too. When the whole class has doubts about the skills of IT teachers, there is a serious problem.

And all this without mentioning the "school life" and the administration that will treat you as a student of second. We are still in the system of "Correspondence book + observations" in higher studies; Infantilizing the possible with the impression of being still in high school instead of being considered major and at least a minimum responsibility.

TLDR; If you want to do a BTS SIO SLAM option, it is better to buy a Premium account at OpenClassrooms and follow the courses of Mathieu Nebra and others, then to become a free candidate at the end of the year. You will have the same result if not better, without having to spend money on transport.
